The street celebration was meant to address ricing prices, according to the designers of the float.

This is absolutely disgusting and today's proof that Europe is the same toilet it has always been.

"Participants in a street celebration in the Belgian city of Aalst paraded giant puppets of Orthodox Jews and a rat atop money bags...The Vismooil’n group, a veteran participant that specializes in hyper-realistic puppets, created the display to address rising prices, they told a Belgian blogger last month. They titled the work “Shabbat Year.”

The display features two giant puppets with streimels, hats favored by some Orthodox Jews, in pink suits. They both have sidelocks. One of the puppets is grinning while smoking a cigar and extending a hand, presumably to collect money. That puppet has a white rat on his right shoulder. Both puppets are standing on gold coins and have money bags at their feet.

In the background is a round window reminiscent of the architecture of many European synagogues and a small box resembling a mezuzah on its right-hand side.

“Everything has become so expensive [we though that] if we do 2019, there would be no more money left for next year,” a member of the group was quoted as saying. “So we all went quiet until we smartly decided to go for the Shabbat Year and that was that. So simple.”

For progressive Jews, it’s easy to demand that Israelis adhere to their progressive notions. In the real-world, however, anti-Zionism is disaster for Jews.

“...opposing “Zionism” itself — the movement for a Jewish homeland — is to deny the validity of a Jewish claim to a nation altogether. It puts you in league with Hamas and Hezbollah and the mullahs of Iran. The Palestinian Liberation Organization’s 1968 charter states that “Judaism, being a religion, is not an independent nationality. Nor do Jews constitute a single nation with an identity of its own; they are citizens of the states to which they belong.” This, it seems, is now also the position of a number of Democrats.”

Last month, The Daily Wire brought you the story of a leftist-owned cafe called "Manny's," that was targeted by other leftists for it's "pro-Israel" owner.

The ONLY issue with the owner is that he’s Jewish. Th entire BDS movement is designed to legitimize antisemitism. Incidents like this prove that case.

“The amassed protesters "painted a Star of David on Manny’s exterior along with the words “F*** Zionism.” A window was broken."

The owner, Mr. Yekutiel, is about as far from a right-wing, MAGA hat-wearing conservative as humanly possible. As The Daily Wire reported last month, Yekutiel is a member of the LGBT community, worked in the Obama White House as an intern, and volunteered on both Barack Obama's and Hillary Clinton's presidential campaigns. Manny's Cafe has hosted a number of decidedly Democratic events, including fundraisers for "incoming House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, San Francisco Mayor London Breed, and activists with Black Lives Matter."

More hate crimes were directed at Jews in 2017 than all other religious groups combined, according to FBI data released on Tuesday, despite the fact that Jews make up just two percent of the U.S. population.

Sorry, but unless you are Jewish: you absolutely do NOT get to tell is what we experience as Jews. I find identity politics to be pretty abhorrent. But I am more horrified by the left's enthusiastic embrace of all things anti-Jewish.

There is no excuse for that.

Video has emerged from a meeting of student representatives at the University of California Davis last week in which Muslim students shout "Allahu Akbar" at a group of Jewish students holding Israeli flags and leaving the meeting.

It's amazing that this is where it always leads. Once again, the modern BDS/anti-Israel movement has nothing to do with policy disputes with the Israeli government. It is the same type of virulent bigotry against Jews that has existed for centuries. The fact that this is going on openly on American college campuses should be a wake up call to all Americans, but unfortunately, in today's climate of moral relativism, I don't think that it will be.

There are no words to describe my revulsion at this. Well actually there are words, but I want to keep this page civil, so I will not use them. Needless to say, it doesn't get any lower than what these people did. I will say too that this is definitive PROOF that the anti-Israel movement is based in antisemitism and a type of virulent bigotry that is no different than what groups like the KKK push.
